A species of beetle can be either black or brown in color. The beetle's color is determined by a single gene, and black is recessive to brown. The soil in the area has become darker and closer in color to the black beetles. Which of the following will most likely occur?

Selective pressures will decrease the number of brown beetles.

Selective pressures will increase the number of brown beetles.

Selective pressures will decrease the number of black beetles.

The overall size of the beetle population will continue to decrease over time.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

the first option

Explanation:

As the soil gets darker, brown beetles become easily recognised by predators (like birds) and will be eaten. Black beetles however, are better camouflaged and will less likely be spotted by the birds. Black beetles will survive and interbreed, allowing the recessive allele to be passed on to upcoming generations.

Selective pressure is what makes the genetic pool shift toward a particular genotype with a particular phenotype (recessive black in this case) that gives the new generations a selective advantage. They're more likely to survive and reproduce. Survival of the fittest.

Genotype- the genetic makeup of an organism (eg: the recessive gene for black; bb)

Phenotype- physical feature of an organism as determined by the genotype (the colour black)

Answer 2

Selective pressures will increase the number of brown beetles. The correct option is 2.

What is Selective pressure?

Any factor that reduces or increases reproductive success in a subset of a population may exert evolutionary pressure, selective pressure, or selection pressure, thereby driving natural selection.

Selection pressure can be defined as a force that causes an organism to evolve in a specific direction.

It is not a physical force, but rather an interaction between natural variation in a species and environmental factors that causes certain forms to have an advantage over others.

A beetle species can be either black or brown in color. A single gene determines the color of the beetle, and black is recessive to brown.

The soil in the area has darkened and taken on the color of black beetles. Brown beetle populations will increase as a result of selective pressures.

Thus, the correct option is 2.

Answer: Because Meiosis only occurs in reproductive cells, as the goal is to create haploid gametes that will be used in fertilization. Meiosis is important to, but not the same as, sexual reproduction. Meiosis is necessary for sexual reproduction to occ Meiosis is important because it ensures that all organisms produced via sexual reproduction contain the correct number of chromosomes. Meiosis also produces genetic variation by way of the process of recombination.ur, as it results in the formation of gametes (sperm and eggs). Hope this helps have a awesome day/night❤️✨

True

Answers

True

The process is called natural selection and was first explored by Charles Darwin in the 19th century.

NATURAL SELECTION is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. This concept was first developed by Darwin (both statements are TRUE).

Darwin referred to evolution as the process of 'descent with modification'.

The main mechanism by which organisms evolve to adapt to their environments is natural selection.

The theory of evolution by natural selection was developed by Darwin and it is now widely accepted as the main cause of evolution.

According to Darwin, species change (evolve) over time, thereby giving rise to new species that share a common ancestor.

In conclusion, NATURAL SELECTION is the process whereby organisms better adapted to their environment tend to survive and produce more offspring. The theory of evolution by natural selection was first developed by Darwin (both statements are TRUE).

Answers

Answer:

D. magnitude

Explanation:

Scalars are quantities that are fully described by their magnitude (size) only. For example, a temperature is fully described by saying "80 degrees Celsius." We do not need to include a direction.

A vector contains both magnitude and direction. Acceleration is fully described by including both speed and direction: "45 m/s, North."

Both scalars and vectors have magnitude.
